This add-on has created too many time-based triggers in this document for this Google user account

Question

I have a public google spreadsheet add-on that returns me this error This add-on has created too many time-based triggers in this document for this Google user account. when I try to add another trigger. I checked and the script does not have any active triggers.
Did someone else had this problem?

I see that there is also an issue posted here:

Answer 1

Try to check the solution in this Google Group for the same error that you encountered "This add-on has created too many time-based triggers in this document for this Google user account". They solve this error by removing the old scheduler trigger. I also suggest you to check this documentation about Installable Triggers.

Answer 2

Try making a new sheet, (maybe in a different google account), copy the data and script into it manually and see if it still an error. You can later copy it back into your original account.
